"Mom! You in there?" Ruby called out knocking on the door to Arthur's room, reason being that Summer, since having gotten her impromptu daughter in Fairy had started taking care of her at Beacon, this leading her to nearly spending all her time with Fairy in Arthur's room, and for some reason Summer hadn't been seen around Beacon or in front of her daughters in days now.

"I'm worried about Arthur, I haven't seen him all day, none of us have, is he in there?" somehow, Arthur's room had become more synonymous with Summer than Arthur himself, most likely due to his seemingly inability to just not end up in an infirmary bed than his own.

"Anyone?" Ruby muttered downtrodden, a sad sigh escaping her lips as she began to walk back to her room, which was right next to Arthur's.

Yet, Ruby soon stopped in her tracks when she heard a click come from the door as it was slowly opened, revealing, not Arthur nor Summer but Fairy, standing on two legs, albeit one made of wood and metal whilst the other was normal flesh and bone.

"Fairy?" Ruby muttered in confusion staring at the two limbs of which there should have only been one last she remembered. "You have two legs… wait… You have two legs!?" she shouted in realization, causing numerous crashes to resound through the dormitory as she caused the various inhabitants of them to jump, some spilling water, other spraying their mirrors with a mixture of saliva and toothpaste, and in some unfortunate rooms, the smell of burnt hair filled the air.

"How? When? I haven't seen you in days! Does Arthur know?" Ruby quickly asked diving to give Fairy a tight hug, and causing Fairy to let out small squeaks every time Ruby squeezed. "Why are you so oily…" she also added noticing that Fairy's cheeks had a very shiny look to them, as well as her clothing being covered in wet stains as well.

"Two days, mama, yes…" Fairy was able to squeeze out, speaking more words in a few seconds then she did in days, having gotten used to miming her meanings and generally just having fun watching people trying to figure out what she meant.

"Oh, hey sweety!" Summer happily called turning her head to Ruby from the bed, where a groan of satisfaction could be heard, "Don't make such a sound!" she said roughly slapping the back of Arthur's head.

"Sorry…" Arthur slowly replied, not really listening to her.

"Mom!?" Ruby screamed quickly covering her eyes at the sight of her mother straddling Arthur's b.a.r.e, shiny back, slowly massaging it. "What are you doing!?" Ruby screamed her face now turned beet red, especially when she noticed her mother's cloths nearly turned see through and stuck to her skin.

"Oh, calm now Ruby, it's just a massage" Summer said as Fairy ran to the side of the bed where a bucket and mop had been leaning against the bed, as well as setting up a wet floor sign right next to the bed as she began to mop up the incredibly slippery oil on the floor.

"But your clothes!" Ruby added, now peeking through her fingers to see the shiny back of Arthur, who once again let out another groan, "This is so much better than the chamber…"

Looking down at her shirt Summer saw that her previously white shirt had almost gone completely see through revealing a dark red bra under it, while the jeans she was wearing had gone a darker shade of blue on the front a were lighter on the back.

"Oh, that, haha…" Summer awkwardly laughed, "The oil bottle wouldn't open, so I may have put in a little too much strength, and… sort of 'blown' it up" she scratched the back of her head, now making part of her hair glisten under the light bulb, "It, sort of went everywhere" she chuckled as a small drop of oil fell onto Ruby's nose causing her to look up to the ceiling where another drip fell onto her cheek.

"Why didn't you change then!" Ruby squeaked quickly turning her head so the side when Arthur turned his head to look at her, bliss on his face.

"Didn't see the point, I'd probably just end up getting another shirt ruined, plus these are old, so I don't really mind them getting dirty" she explained and began to press her hands into the muscles on Arthur's shoulders.

"It was actually really funny" Arthur said, "You should have seen it, it was like she was ice skating" he chuckled, immediately regretting his decision when Summer 'accidentally' put too much pressure on a muscle in his shoulders.

"I know every single spot on your body that can paralyze you, and cause pain in ways you wouldn't even imagine, those were my favourite socks, now stop laughing before I make things worse for you" Summer said leaning down bringing her lips next to his ear while also pressing her body against his back, which normally would have excited Arthur, had it not been for the ominously put words.

"Yes ma'am" Arthur closed his mouth not uttering another chuckle or laugh.

"Good boy" she whispered and straightened her body before quickly hopping off Arthur, making sure not to step onto the floor where there were still spots wet from Fairy's cleaning, who was now leaning against her mop and wiping the sweat off her brow with a job well done smile on her face.

"Ruby! Your turn!" Summer happily shouted giving her daughter a wink and a nudge.

"Wha!?" Ruby squeaked in surprise, "N-no thank you!" her blush went from ear to ear as she covered her face in embarrassment.

"Come now Ruby, this is the perfect chance to get some intimacy in with him, I'll take Fairy out for a nice, long walk, and you get to have some fun" Summer said kneeling next to Ruby, while in the background Fairy was having fun making squeaky noises by rubbing her finger along Arthur's arm.

"Mom!?" Ruby yelped, but didn't even get the chance to say anything else as both Fairy and Summer disappeared and reappeared in seconds wearing new, not oil soaked clothing. Fairy looking around in surprise at her sudden change of clothes and now oil free skin in amazement.

"I'm taking Fairy out for a walk and some dinner! You two enjoy yourselfs!" she said walking through the door but stopped to say something to Ruby, "Oh, and Ruby, I only want grandkids after you've become a huntress, kay?" Ruby didn't even get to say anything before she left, "Byebye!" fairy waved them good bye before disappearing in a flurry of red and white petals.

"I can never figure out what's going on in her head…" Arthur chuckled pushing himself up from his bed, "Give me a bit to get showered and dressed then we can spend some time together that okay?" he said standing up, luckily still having pants on, albeit oil stained ones. Ruby quickly began to furiously nod; peaking through her fingers as Arthur entered his bathroom with a towel as well as a spare set of night ware after his previous pair had been oiled.

Once Arthur was gone, Ruby let out a breath of relief, hands on her cheeks trying to calm herself, 'calm Ruby, it's not the first time you've seen him without a shirt' her inner self said, 'And no way I'm letting it be the last' inner Ruby added.

"Hello?" A voice came from behind Ruby as a head peaked through the door which Summer had forgotten to close, turning around Ruby saw a familiar head of white hair with black stripes as well as wells a head of blonde hair above it.

"Oh, hey Ruby, this wouldn't happen to be Arthur's room right?" Flora asked

Hearing his name sent a butterfly rampaging through her belly as she remembered the glistening body of Arthur, "Y-yeah, he's in the shower" she said pushing herself off the ground. All while Tigre was sniffing the air.

"Apricots… roses and cinnamon?" Tigre muttered in confusion still sniffing the air, "as well as lavender and oil?" She finished sniffing the air and opened her eyes, "Was someone getting a massage and messed the oil around?" she astutely predicted.

"What? No… yes… I don't know!" Ruby replied.

"Someone there Ruby?" Arthur said walking out of his shower, drying his hair now wearing a clean unstained pair of long pyjama pants, but his shirt slung over his shoulder. Seeing the two figures peeking into his room Arthur said, "Oh, Flora, Tigre, isn't that a little invasion of privacy?" he asked with a chuckle as Flora looked him up and down, giving a quick nod to Skye's type.

"Not at all, door was open, we were worried that someone may have broken into your room and started taking stuff" Flora said.

"Really now, in Beacon, where there are most likely dozens of cameras watching our every moves outside of our rooms" he dead panned.

"Exactly!" Flora heartily laughed and pushed the door open, as well as pushing Tigre in.

"So, to what do I owe the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e?" Arthur fell onto his couch soon followed by Ruby who sat next to him, except more nervous and shy after what she just saw.

"Nothing much, just wanted Tigre here to apologize for repeatedly using you as a cushion as well as being a little uncaring yesterday when you were clearly injured" she explained nudging Tigre to get her going, "Say sorry" Flora muttered low enough that only Tigre could hear.

Taking a step forward Tigre's ears drooped as she stared at the ground in guilt, "I'm sorry for using you as a cushion to break my flight even though I didn't have any decision at where I went as well as I'm sorry for being ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e when you were clearly injured after an intense fight that most likely drained your aura giving you an intense headache as well as possibly caused you stress that might have led to your arm falling off…" Tigre kicked the ground as Flora began to hold her belly and laugh along with Arthur after he snorted at her strange choice of words.

"Don't worry about it, it was quite amusing to see someone so excited like that, I'm guessing Skye told you to say that?" Arthur questioned.

"Yeah, she was not pleased with her when we got back yesterday, honestly, out of everyone in my team she is probably the scariest when you get her angry." Flora said.

"Take a seat, we can chat for a bit if you want, I actually wanted to ask you something Tigre" he said indicating to extra chairs he had. Ruby letting out an annoyed snort as they both grabbed a seat and sat down.

"Same, Tigre here also wanted to ask you something, though, we can't stay long, it's almost curfew for us and I am not angering doctor Skye again, once was enough" she shivered.

"That's okay, it's nothing really big, I'm just interested in why she has such an infatuation with Byakko" he said, leaning against the armrest of his couch one leg on it the other hanging off it.

Hearing this Tigre's ears immediately stood to attention as she began to explain, "I come from a tribe of nomad white tiger faunus on Oblitas" she explained.

'Oblitas? That's probably the dragon shaped continent on the map' Arthur thought looking to the map of remnant he had hanging on his wall.

"I along with my tribe believe that we are descended from a Byakko many millennia ago, and we all pray to Byakko to bring us prosperity and to protect us from the dangers of Oblitas on our journeys, I grew up believing in Byakko I still do, it's my ambition to meet with one and I was told by Grandma that if I came to Vale I would have the chance of meeting one, so I came to Beacon thinking that this would be the most likely place where I could meet one. And the moment I heard that someone had actually met one as well as been saved by her I was just excited!" Tigre began to bounce, sparkles in her eyes.

"So you think you could help me meet her! Please please pleeeeaaaassssssseeeee!" she pleaded, "Even if I have to give you my body, just please help me meet Byako!" her words causing Flora and Arthur to begin to choke on air whilst Ruby quickly tackled Arthur sending a cautious glare to Tigre.

"I don't care if I have to be a mistress or pet! Just take me to Byakko! Even if I have to wear a collar and leash!" her hands travelled to the hem of her shirt ready to pull it off to show her dedication. Though luckily, or unluckily depending on your point of view, Flora quickly came in threw her leg into the air and gave a quick axe kick to the top of Tigre's head.

"Haha! Not today!" Tigre shouted in triumph at having dodged Flora's axe kick for the first time since the year started.

"…" Flora was silent for a moment as she stared at Tigre, her glare sending shivers down Tigre's spine "Don't dodge" her voice turned menacing and causing Tigre to begin to take scared footsteps back towards the door before quickly bolting out of it once she was close enough.

"Haaa..." Flora let out a sigh and put her hand on her hip, "Sorry bout that, I had no idea she'd go that far, I knew she had a crazy infatuation with Byakko but really a pet? Never knew she was into that…" Flora chuckled and began to walk towards the door as well, "I'll see you two another time, I'm gonna go punish a naughty kitty, later!" she waved to both Ruby and Arthur, slamming the door shut behind her.

"…"

"How do I even respond to that?" Arthur was left dumbstruck from Tigre's display, "I mean, I would happily take her to Byakko after first consulting her, if I can even get to her, but what in the name of god was that?" he spoke to himself, feeling a wet drip on his stomach.

Alternate Chapter names: [The oily alien in the ventless ceiling] [Willing submission] [A deal of bodies]

So, uh, yeah, the next chapters possibly going to be a Lemon, no idea how I'm going to do it, or even if it'll be 'good', I do want to add a bit of character development in such chapters, so give them a chance if you want, I'll also add something like {L} at the end of the title for such chapters so you can skip them if you have no interest in reading them, these are for the most part, side story parts so there shouldn't be much if any lost information if you skip them.

Though, if you do read them, please give feedback because honestly so far these are the scenes that are the scariest for me to actually write (Yay for having no experience in such topics…) and I'm always looking for more critique to improve my writing.

And these really shouldn't happen that often so don't just abandon because of one such chapter, I'm not writing an e.r.o.t.i.ca but I'm not going to avoid them. {L} Chapters will also probably be shorter than regular chapters so don't expect 2-3k words.
